Performance objective

You will demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to articulate, present and debate ideas in the workplace.

Assessment description

This task continues from Assessment Task 1. You will use your planning from Assessment Task 1 to present your case to the group. You will encourage group participation and will also participate in other group members' presentations.

You will need to:
- acknowledge new ideas and perspectives from others
- build on the ideas of others
- seek clarification from other candidates
- participate with the group to make final decisions on recommendations for implementation.
At the end of presentations, the group will select the two to four best recommendations to proceed with in Assessment Task 3.
Procedure

1. Agree with your assessor on a date and time to make the presentation you planned in Assessment Task 1.

2. Make your presentation. Ensure you engage your audience in discussion or interactive activities.

3. Listen and participate in the presentations of your colleagues (fellow learners).

4. As a group, you will discuss and decide on two to four recommendations to support in line with the scenario requirements. This decision-making process will be led by the assessor.
